How To Be A Gateway Ninja

What are the current problems surrounding gateway integration?

Talking to some of our payments advisors, we found that common problems faced by developers surrounding the integration of gateways include:

Upfront cost

Different technologies used by each gateway

Each gateway has its own API (eg REST, SOAP) as well as a different required data and sets of calls required

The time and cost of integration

Not all payment methods were created equal and some may have layers of complexity that need to be carefully integrated.

Maintenance cost

Maintenance costs due to the ongoing coding required

Need to update your code to stay up to date with the gateway’s API.

Aggregation of gateways

Inability to view all transaction data from a single point after integrating several payment methods

Difficulties in accessing customer payment information across different gateways

Can’t store Gateway X customer payment details on Gateway Y

Do not have a central location to store all your customer payment details

This is where PayDock can help.

PayDock is a smart payments platform designed for merchants and developers. We offer a number of features to solve your payments pain:

Upfront cost

Reduces cost of integration with gateway development effort

Development time and cost for your website or app is significantly reduced-you only have to integrate with PayDock once to enable access to all payment methods globally.

PayDock also offers a variety of software development kits (SDKs), including Javascript SDK, .Net SDK, Java SDK with iOS and Android on the way, to make integration as easy as possible.
